I still want to do a transcontinental bikeride. <\/p>\n
I do not imagine that there will ever be a better time to do it than between grad school & employment. However, doing it will cost large sums ($3-4k) between bike, lodging, food, tent, etc, that I do not expect to have. Then there’s the opportunity cost of about $3.5k per month that I’m not working. <\/p>\n
My original plan was to do it over the course of three months, occasionally staying with friends in places like Boston, Burlington, Zanesville, London KY, Chicago, Denver, etc, etc. On further reflection, I think this idea is probably not a good idea. Not a three month solo trip with little prep and meager finances. I do still feel the pull, but I think it’s something I’ll build up to, rather than jumping in with both feet. For instance, perhaps instead of taking greyhound or amtrak between minneapolis and chicago, I’ll bike. We’ll see how it all goes. I’ve become quite a fan of moving by mail though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
